2.6.1.124 |
Accepted name: |
[amino-group carrier protein]-γ-(L-ornithyl)-L-glutamate aminotransferase |
Reaction: |
an [amino-group carrier protein]-C-terminal-[γ-(L-ornithyl)-L-glutamate] + 2-oxoglutarate = an [amino-group carrier protein]-C-terminal-[γ-(L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde-2-yl)-L-glutamate] + L-glutamate |
Other name(s): |
lysJ (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
2-oxoglutarate:[amino-group carrier protein]-C-terminal-[γ-(L-ornithyl)-L-glutamate] aminotransferase |
Comments: |
The enzyme participates in an L-arginine biosynthetic pathway that operates in certain species of archaea. In some cases the enzyme also catalyses the activity of EC 2.6.1.118, [amino-group carrier protein]-γ-(L-lysyl)-L-glutamate aminotransferase. |
